Smoke

[notsoltd]

No, this isn't about the effect SMOKE or even Warning. Earlier today, I was sitting in class. A few kids around me were all talking and one of them said to another one "Hey do that thing." Well apparently, the kid he said it to knew what he was talking about. Now, keep in mind, this kid is not a magician nor does he do any kind of magic but, he did this: He puffed his cheeks up, made a few (I guess) kind of popping sounds with his mouth, made two fists with his hands and put them up to his mouth, did something else and then he moved his hands, deflated his cheeks...low and behold...he blew a pretty thick cloud of smoke out of his mouth.

I have no clue what he did or how he did it or what all the strange cheek inflations and popping sounds did but it was smoke. I'm just curious, do any of you guys know what he did, or seen anyone do this?

Why don't you ask the guy?

It's like building up pressure. When smoke comes out of a soda can when you pop, the top it's essentially because of the same thing.

thats not a magic trick or anything, its a little thing that smokers can do. It's almost like trying to get something out of your throat; he breathed out REAL smoke. My friend is a smoker, and he can do this.

There was actually a topic about this a few months back. Blindside is exactly right. If you YouTube it there are tons of videos explaining it. As it is not a magic trick, per say, looking this up on YouTube would be no different than a musician looking up a youtube video on how to play a song

I was intrigued when I saw this thread, so I looked up some tutorials for it.

It's actually really easy to do and I can honestly say it's one of the coolest things I have learnt in a while! Not magic, but people will love it!

Is that even healthy to do?

It's just carbon dioxide as far as I can tell, so I wouldn't think it was dangerous at all. You're only using what's already in your body anyway.

Edit: Actually just done some research, and it could actually just be water vapour..... but not sure... damn internet, which bit am I supposed to trust!

This is called Solid Breath. I do it all the time as a magic trick even though it's not really a magic trick. It's completely safe but not many people can actually do it. You don't need to be a smoker to do it, it's just carbon dioxide. Just look on youtube for some tutorials and practice a lot until you can get smoke on about one "click" and a lot comes out.
